A-Z Challenge Day 21- U is for...

Umbrella! Apologies for the lack of images. I've managed to download a rather snazzy pic, but can't for the life of me work out how to extract it from the bowels of my device without a whole load of technical twiddling and fiddling. You'll just have to imagine the brolly of your choice.

The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella;
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust hath the just' umbrella.

Visiting your blog for the first time on the letter U day. Haven’t time in these closing days of the #Challenge to go back and read all your posts, but I will be back. While you have been busy, I have been writing about hotels and inns, their architecture and architects, the settings and significance to a community. If you have time or interest, I hope you will come visit. Cheers.

Welcome to my blog. I always love receiving comments; do feel free. If you're visiting from the A-Z challenge (or even if you're not!) could I thank you for your patience in using the dreaded captcha verification thingy. It's a pain, I know, but I've had problems with spam in the past and would rather keep Greenpatches as a junk-free zone.

Welcome

Growing Greenpatches is about gardening. Like its predecessor, it's to do with cookery - finding the right ingredients.

No, only joking; I had to find something else beginning with the same letter - old habits die hard! In short, a right old pot-pourri of all the bits'n bobs that make up the life of one very ordinary middle-aged empty nester looking to make sense of her calling, and, maybe helping other people to do the same along the way.

Thank you for joining me.

About Me

Seven years ago I signed up to a Methodist Church Lent Simple Living Campaign and Greenpatches blog Mk 1 was born. In 2009 I signed on the dotted line as a Franciscan tertiary, leaving the order in early 2016. Five years ago I signed up for formation as a spiritual companion; accompanying fellow travellers as they respond to God's presence is one of life's joys. The journey continues...
